Chapter 10- Sora: What happened?

.Sora's POV.

Slowly I got up from my chair and headed into their front room. Riku was behind me the whole way.

"It seems that Ansem has escaped the hospital. We believe he had help because he could not have gotten far alone." The officer said. I let out a breath of relief as I came to the conclusion Cloud and Leon were safe.

He hesitated for a moment before saying more, "We need you help though… to catch him…" He looked me straight in the eyes. "We need you to create a trap tomorrow night at your high school dance." I felt like they were asking me to jump off a bridge.

"I… I don't know…" I whispered.

"You could be helping yourself very much, as well as your guardians." The officer said.

"You cannot pressure him into it." Sephiroth said, when he noticed how distraught I looked.

"I'm not. I just want him to realize how this would help everyone in his life." The officer said, punctuating the last four words.

"I'll do it." I said before anything else could be said.

"Sora, are you sure you want to do that?" Sephiroth asked me. I nodded, but he probably saw the fear in my eyes when he frowned. Riku hugged me from behind.

"I won't let anything happen to you…" He whispered in my ear. I turned around and hugged him tightly.

"I know." I smiled up at him. I took a shaky breath, trying with all my might to hold back the tears.

"I'll tell you the details later." The officer said as he left. A silent tear slipped down my face as I thought of all the ways it could possibly go wrong.

"I'll be there for you So, nothing is going to happen! I won't let go of you the whole night." Riku whispered into my ear.

"I—I don't want anything bad to happen!" I sobbed, choking on my own breaths.

"I promise that I won't let them hurt you." Riku said to me before he kissed my temple. I slowly calmed down taking deep breaths. "I think it's time for some sleep. I think that maybe you and I should go in late tomorrow." I nodded slowly. Then Riku picked me up and carried me to his room, he laid me down on his bed and tried to walk away, but I grabbed his sleeve.

"Stay here with me?" I asked pouting to get him to stay. He sighed and turned back around. Riku got back into the bed with me hugging me close sharing his warmth with me as he pulled the covers up over us. I quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Time Skip… 7 hours (11 a.m.)

I woke up to Riku shaking me. "Come on Sor, we need to go to school. You get to go see your friends." Riku said shaking me.

"Just a few more minutes?" I asked.

"Nope, you'll need to get up now if we want to not waste a whole day of school." Riku denied. I slowly moved into a sitting position. Then I got up out of bed and Riku handed me my bag with my clothes in it. "I'll be downstairs." He said as he closed the door. I groggily put my clothes on and made my way to the first floor.

Riku had cooked breakfast of pancakes with syrup. "Yummy!" I said as I sat down and started eating. Riku just smiled at me.

"I'm glad you like them." He said cleaning up his own dishes. I finished them quickly and took my dishes to the sink and grabbed my things. "Ready?" Riku asked me. I nodded and we went to get in his car. We drove slowly to school; we had no reason to rush.

"Ok, so here's the plan, it's going to be lunch time when we get there so we are going to arrive together, then I want you to stay with Roxas at the end of the day until I come and get you ok?"

"Yes." Was all I said. We arrived at the school at 11:20 we still had 40 minutes left of lunch. We walked slowly to our lockers then to the lunch room.

"Sora! Sora's back!" Selphie yelled as she jumped up and ran over to me. She wrapped her arms tightly around my waist.

"Ah!" I yelped as she squeezed me.

"Selph, you should stop, Sora still isn't all the way healed." Riku chided. Selphie let me go and pulled me towards our table with all of our friends, Riku trailed silently behind us.

"Sora! Are you okay? Riku told us you were in the hospital, what happened?" Roxas asked me.

"I—" I choked up, "I can't tell you guys yet." I said as I started to tear up. Riku wrapped his arms around my waist. We sat down with the rest of them.

"Well, when you're ready to talk, just come to us. We won't judge you." Roxas said reassuringly.

The rest of the day kind of flew by and soon enough we were back at Riku's house getting ready for the dance.

"It's nothing formal Sora. Just choose a nice shirt and a nice pair of jeans." Riku told me as I was looking through my bag.

"I know I just can't find anything that will look good." I whined. Riku chuckled from behind me before coming up to me and snaking his arms around my waist, and then he kissed me cheek.

"Anything will look good on you." He cooed. I smiled before grabbing my clothes and shooing him out of the room so I could change. I quickly changed and opened the door again. I went down the stairs to find Riku watching TV. "See, I told you that anything would look good on you!" He smirked. I blushed profusely.

"So, when do you have to work next?" I questioned.

"Cloud and Leon gave me two weeks off, or until I want to come back, so that I can stay with you." Riku answered in a soft voice. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked me while getting up and walking over to me.

"Yes, I don't want him to be roaming the streets. I want to catch him so I can try to be normal!" I protested.

"Shhh… I know, I know that it must be killing you inside." He soothed me frayed nerves.

"Are you ready to go? I think we should head out." I said. He nodded and we headed to the car. A police officer stepped up to us.

"Everything is set up just act normal. Don't even act like anything is happening." He warned us. We nodded and headed to the car. When we arrived at the dance we immediately looked for our group.

"Sora! Riku!" Axel yelled at us. Riku grabbed my hand and we made our way over to them.

"What's up guys?" Riku asked.

"Nothing much, Roxy took forever to get dressed." Axel grumbled. Roxas squawked indignantly. I laughed at them. The DJ began to play faster dancing songs. We danced as a group. I danced with Riku and tried to stay as close to him as possible. Roxas and Axel left for the bathroom after about an hour. Then a slow song came on, Riku and I danced to it and I vowed to remember the song as our very first song. Roxas came back looking for me.

"Sora, can I talk to you privately?" He asked and we left for the bathroom.

When we got there I asked, "What did you need Rox?" He started tearing up.

"I'm sorry Sora, I didn't want to do this but they were going to kill me!"

"Roxas what are you talking abo—" I gasped as three men came out one of the men had blonde hair, the other had weird red hair and the other had bluish hair "No, nononono, NO!" I yelled and made a dash for the door. The one with the blue hair stopped me.

"Where do you think you're going pretty one?" The man asked.

"I'm so sorry Sora!" Roxas said again, then they bound and gagged him.

"What are you doing to him?! He didn't do anything!" I yelled. The blue haired man slapped me.

"You need to shut up!" He hissed. I whimpered and he smirked.

"Saïx, Ansem said not to harm him in any way." The blonde haired man said.

"Shut up Vexen." The man known as Saïx barked. "Lexaeus, take the blonde he's seen too much. We don't want this getting out." Saïx whispered before my world went all black.
